Description

Using nothing more than a couple of markers and 25 cards numbered one through five, Reiner Knizia does a remarkable job of capturing the feel of fencing, with its advances, lunges, parries and ripostes. Players compete in several duels before the game is complete, but the whole thing still only takes half an hour, tops.
